Free Thought Day

On this Day in History

On this day in in 1492, After sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus sights a Bahamian island, believing he has reached East Asia. His expedition went ashore the same day and claimed the land for Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain, who sponsored his attempt to find a western ocean route to China, India, and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia.

Here’s a random Science Facts for today

When you get goosebumps and your hair stands, the hair helps to trap air, making you feel warmer by keeping in your body heat.

Your Character Counts at Rock Springs School

The Pillar of the Week is Fairness, our fourth Pillar of Character, represented by the color orange. When you think about fairness, think of dividing an orange into equal sections to share fairly with friends.

A fair person thoroughly employs open and impartial processes for gathering and evaluating information necessary to make decisions. Fair people do not wait for the truth to come to them; they seek out relevant information and conflicting perspectives before making important judgments.

According to Muhammad Ali, boxer, “I never thought about losing, but now that its happened, the only thing is to do it right.”

Safety First!

Remember to use the crosswalk.

Please remember to walk when traveling through campus.

Also, remember to use quiet voices in all academic areas.

Play safe on the playground and when the bell rings to line up, walk to your line safely. We do not want anyone running as you could get hurt.

When you arrive at school in the morning, you are to to sit at the lunch tables. All students are to remain sitting at the lunch tables until the duty teacher says that you may get up.

At the end of the day, your teacher will walk you to your designated exit for parent pick-up. If your ride is not there, you need to wait, stay at the front of the school and wait patiently and quietly for your ride.

This concludes today’s announcements. Thank you college bound roadrunners, and remember,
